Description pc451 2002-02-08 23:28:03 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kwintv
Version:           KDE 2.2.2 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.4
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

Kwintv immediately crashes on startup. This applies to both the debian package (0.8.11) and the compiled version (also 0.8.11). The following message is given in the virtual terminal:
---
KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = kwintv path = <unknown> pid = 6603
ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error!
---
The stack trace is:

I think this was already fixed in CVS.  If you can please try the code there.

Sorry folks, kwintv is old code and not being maintained because it's so brittle.  We have started a 
rewrite, which is quite usable now (though incomplete).  You can try your luck with it from 
kdenonbeta/kwintv3/, or wait for a real release sometime this year. 
 
Thanks for reporting the bugs.  Hopefully you'll have much better luck with the rewrite.  The 
developers find it to be much better already.
